Fabricator Profile: AMC Countertops

In 1999, Axel and Carmina Mendez immigrated to the United States from Mexico City to establish themselves as a pioneer for Silestone. At the time, quartz surfacing was relatively unknown among consumers, and competition with solid surface and Granite was fierce.

In 2002, the couple was able to acquire a fabrication distributorship in Fond du Lac, Wis., and their company, AMC Countertops, quickly gained a reputation as a leader in quartz surfacing. The primary fabrication facility and headquarters is still located in Wisconsin, and nearly all of the company’s clients are located within the state.

The couple tries to work locally in the belief that building strong communities is essential for success and for the happiness of people in general. To that end, they give generously to such charities as Habitat for Humanity and the United Way.
